    • You will be prompted to enter your LMU username and password on LMU Authentication page.
  • Complete the course called Learning Access for Office 365 by Adam Wilbert. It is 1 hour and 7 minutes long. Be sure that you are selecting the right course because there are several for Microsoft Access.
